Step 1: Get in your truck, drive to wherever you plan on looking.

Step 2: Get out of truck and start walking.

Step 3: Look on the ground when you're walking.

Step 4: Look up occasionally so you don't walk into anything.

Step 5: You've found a shed! Woohoo!

Really though, all you need to do is get out there and walk around. They aren't going to be any place special, there really isn't any special place to look. You might try areas that are extra brushy, or where there are low hanging branches where the antlers are likely to snag and pull off.

Good luck!

Another good place to look is where they have to jump something like a fence.. when they hit the ground the shock can knock them off ..Bill

Look on trails leading to and from bedding and feeding areas.Edges of any kind of cut overs.Slopes that get any kind sun where bucks can bed in the sun for awhile.Licking branches are good places to look also.Fences can be good spots if the deer actually jump or crawl under them .However I've noticed over the years that deer will follow fences until they find a spot where the fence is either down or they can just step over it.At this time of year deer wont be to far from there food source.Good luck
